Little Olive Tree Preschool

Little Olive Tree Preschool, under Presbyterian Preschool Services (PPS), is dedicated to nurturing young minds through holistic, values-based early childhood education. Rooted in biblical principles, we provide a loving and stimulating environment where children grow in character, confidence, and curiosity.

Little Olive Tree
“But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.” Psalm 52:8

In the Bible, the flowering olive tree represents beauty, abundance and fruitfulness.

It is our hope for Little Olive Tree Preschools to be a safe space for children to grow and flourish in. We also hope that as our children grow up, they will always be rooted in the lessons and values we impart to them while they are with us.

Presbyterian Preschool Services (PPS) has been running childcare services for the past 50 years, previously under the name of Presbyterian Community Services (PCS).

As part of ECDA's requirements for the Partner Operator Scheme, PPS was incorporated on 17 August 2021 and now operates separately from PCS.

Little Olive Tree by PPS was first launched in 2023 as a partnership with churches who shared our desire to meet the increasing needs of families while extending God’s love to the community.

As of 1 Jan 2024, all existing PPS preschools will take on the name of Little Olive Tree, bringing the total number of LOT Preschools up to 16.

To build a strong foundation in truth, beauty and goodness in our children

Little Olive Tree wants our children to see, understand and act based on biblical principles, values and perspectives in a world where truth is often distorted, beauty corrupted and goodness disregarded.

We ask ourselves: what is the chief end of education? If it is just academic and future employment success, we are far too short-sighted for our children’s own good. In our preschools, the Truth, Beauty and Goodness curriculum aims to break the moulds of traditional education goals.
